I thought id share some pics of a prerunner skid bumper I made recently.
I counted the other day, and this will be my 8th bumper, hence the thread title, I wanted to do stuff differantly on this one, compared to my previous iterations.
The jeep it is going on is a 92 2door, 4.7l russ pottenger equiped prerunner, an aspiring work in progress. This will not be dragged up canyons, and the simplistic mounting points and lack of d-rings acknowledge this. The front frame horns were also previously damaged and repaired subpar by the previous owner, dictating the 4 bolt mounting. I also do not run a swaybar. All welds are done with a lincoln 100hd, flux core, as my larger machine is welding in greener fields now....
I normally dont care for skid plate front bumpers on xj's, but felt forced into it from a design point. The major thing i dislike is the poseur angles many have, due to the front cross member being in the way where it dips down in the middle, so i cut a lot of it out to get the angle i wanted, nice and tight.
